I plan to spend at least 4 periods on this project because it will be one of the last things they do before starting their Create Task. Hopefully, I will have some of the checklists and other resources in place so we can get a dress rehearsal. 1 for intro and planning, 2 for completing the code and 1 for writing. I will probably do day 1 of coding with limited help and then no help on day 2.

@carmichaelc After finishing U5 Chapter 1, your students will have covered all the material they need to successfully complete the Create PT. U5 Ch2 is focused on Programming and Data Structures. The later lessons address Arrays and creating a Canvas Painter app. The Create PT does not require knowledge of lists/arrays.

This will also be the last thing for my students. We have spring break and state testing that I need to account for so we will have to begin the PT mid March. I will also need to allow a day to upload the submissions and I want to get a few days for test prep. In addition, if a student misses more than one day of class they will need to make that up.
